The Audley (Mayfair - London)

The Audley

Wandering through the lonley streets of marble arch and mayfair we stumbled upon this characteristic looking pub with tables outside with candles upon them and, though quiet, looked rather inviting. Upon entry we found a posh pub with old men in expensive suits sporting bottles of champagne and cognac. The chandellears on the ceiling and the random painting s on the walls reflected the mood of the place which was an old mans pub for people with a large inheritence. The clientell, having said this, were quite friendly and the bar staff even more so. There was a fine selection of beers from accross europe and a cash point within, which saved scouring the streets! this place appears to close late at the weekend although i am not sure and was big enough to accomodate a group, with plenty of free tables. At about £2.70 a pint it was surprisingly cheaper for alcohol than the area around it reflected.

Overall a rather fatcat 6/10. Perfectly charming for a pub in the area if a little snobbish.

I worked here in its 'heyday' in the Eighties when it had a Cavery in the Bar an Aussie wine Bar in the cellar and a small exclusive restaurant on the 1st floor that had customers like D. Hoffman and many other celebs.
In sad state at the moment, ie, sticky carpet under food, bad pub grub and in need of a revamp. Still serves good beers!
